of Their Action.
By Associated Press to The News,
Chicago, May 5.—There was a
sensation at the Leland hotel late
yesterday afternooD, when two
beautiful young ladie were disoov-ered
in one of the rooms almost at
death’s door from the effects of
morphine. Physicians were sum-moned
and set to work to resusci-tate
them. In the case of the
younger their efforts were successful,
after a time, but the elder, in spite
of every endeavor, remained un-conscious,
it developed that they
were Olga Plows, aged 19 years,

the well known confectioner, Ed-ward

hotel. When Meroedes was suffic
iently restored to talk, she sa'd that
on Tuesday last she and her sister
lad swallowed eighteen quarter
grain morphine tablets, and slept
until Wednesday afternoon,
and then realizing that their
attempt at suicide bad
been a failure they sent for more
morphine and took thirty-six quar-ter
grain tablets each. Late last
night Mercedes was rapidly recov-ering,
but it was thought Olga
could not survive. Mercedes gave
as the reason for their rash act
their home life was unhappy.

By Associated Press to The News.
Chicago, May 5.—Jacksgn Park

payment of fifty cents will entitle
any member of the great public to
entrance just as it has the past six
months. There will be no formal
action taken, and there will be no
official announcement made, but the
gates will be open. Gentlemen in
timately connected with the govern
ment of the fair, said Superintend-ent
Tucker, has had no instruction
to close the gates on the Sab
bath. It has been the rule
in the past to have the
gates open on the Sabbath,
and as there has been no order to
make a change Mr. Tucker will con-tinue
as usual. He holds, and of
course will be upheld in his opinion,
that he has no authority to close
the gates until he is officially in-structed
to do so. The entire force
of guards will be on duly and the
public will not ba allowed to enter
any of the buildings except the
horticultural hall and green houses.
‘■We will then wait for develop-ments.
The park will be open every
Sunday during the period of the
existence tf the fair,, and in a few
weeks the exhibit build.ii gs will be

be turned on the Sabbath.”
